SLUG TRAPS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: These are plastic traps which are placed in the ground and when configured properly will allow slugs to enter but not escape. They are designed to fit in the ground “snugly” and should have their entrance holes right at ground level allowing slugs and snails easy access. The bait which comes with each trap is made of food material and releases an odor slugs and snails like and find attractive. The small trap has two entrances (pictured on the left side of the photo). Slugs and snails can enter either and once inside will get caught in the solution. This solution is created by adding one cup of warm water, along with the bait pack, and 2 drops of dish detergent. The bait gets them into the trap and once they reach the water to feed, the dish detergent in the water prevents them from being able to leave. The large trap (pictured on the right side) works the same way. However, it features sixteen entrance holes and therefore is better suited for large problems. When set properly, the large trap should have it’s bottom tank fully submerged in the ground with the entrance “holes” even with ground level. The very top serves as a “roof” preventing rain from diluting the tank mix.

Replacement bait refills can be bought separately as needed. Item # 826418 is a single pack (contains three pills) and we also sell Item # 826420 (contains 4 packs of three pills) and is seen here:
